PRINCE:

Dirty Mind and Controversy, those albums are my personal favorite Dirty Mind with it's straight fowardness he definatly didn't beat around the bush with that album. Controversy, everything on that album was amazing 2 me.

The Cure:

Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and Disintegration, Disentegration speaks 4 itself.

Duran Duran:

Essientials, those outakes really defined the band as the "new romantic era" and it had Girls on Film (Night Version) on there that edit was awesome especially the drumming.

Prince-The Rainbow Children
Prince-Purple Rain
Prince-Sign O The Times

Aaliyah-One In A Million
Usher-8701
Donell Jones-Where I Wanna Be

IMO most of U are misunderstanding word PERFECT. If somebody for example, considers lets's say, David Bowie's both Alladin Sane (a masterpiece) and Earthling (quite interesting, immediately outdated) as perfect...
(((nothing personal, Moonbeam, just an example)))

I mean, whats the point in saying some album Perfect, if you have a list of 100 albums U consider perfect. IMO word perfect is thee BEST quality U can get, and an album who I name Perfect cant have anything, ANYTHING i dont like. Not a song, not a verse.

Yep, and after this preaching, i made my own list, and it became relatively long also

But these r the ultimate, non-arguable PERFECT albums.
Some may be missing still...

This is serious, U know..

• These ones I copy/pasted from Ur lists:
  
  Prince - Dirty Mind
  Prince - Sign O' The Times
  Leatherface - The Last
  Husker Du - Candy Apple Grey
  Pixies - DoLittle
  Sigur Ros-Agaetus Byrjen
  The Rolling Stones - Exile from Main St
  Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
  Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
  Jeff Buckley - Grace
  Radiohead - OK Computer, Amnesiac
  The Cure- Disintegration
  
  
• These perfects I couldnt find on Ur lists:
  
  Pulp: this is hardcore
  Air: 10 000 Hertz
  Posies: Frosting on the Beater
  Teenage Fanclub: Songs from the northern britain
  Johnny Cash: Live at san quentin
